About the Blog

Hurst Happenings is an initiative from the Mercyhurst College Office of Alumni Relations which aims to keep Mercyhurst alumni, friends, and family informed of the ‘happenings’ on the hill. Through a number of different media formats – to include video, podcasts, and others, we hope to provide a fresh and appealing dose of Mercyhurst to those who aren’t in Erie to experience it on a daily basis.

Greater voice. Greater impact. Give today!

Going back to our founding year and the address that started it all, the Office of Institutional Advancement is launching a trustee challenge to all our alumni! From May 19-26, we are challenged to obtain 501 new donors to which a group of generous trustees will match $50 for every new donor we obtain.

In order to reach our 20% alumni participation rate, we have to secure all 501 donors! This is your chance to make a gift of $1 and have the impact of $51 through this generous trustee match.

In addition, we have a new giving campaign called FACE in which donors can have a greater voice when giving back to their alma mater. This is your opportunity to recognize someone special from your time at Mercyhurst, a faculty member that helped you identify new skills, an Administrator that helped you connect with new friends through campus activities, a Coach that mentored your mental and physical strength, or even a staff member that cared about your well-being and said hello to you everyday in the cafeteria.

It takes an entire community to build the best Mercyhurst and we want to start hearing these stories! Give back May 19-26 and honor those that have given so much to you!
